卷八·第七至八章　第二仪表算例；敌对之位与仪表构造

VII. Examples of the Procedures Set Out Above for the 2nd Instrument.

第七章　上面所列诸法用于第二仪表的例子。

For the sake of example, let it be year 6 of Trajan, Choiak 1 into the 2nd, the 8th hour of the night; the conjunction in Sagittarius 8°30'. I took the interval from the conjunctional day and hour up to the day and hour of the nativity; it comes to 7 days 14 hours, which are half of the course from conjunction to full moon, that is, of the 15 days. Half of this I subtracted from the magnitude for the Ascendant, 12°0', of degree 8 of Sagittarius, which is 12, of which half is 6; this I take as the fraction of the hour. Having calculated, then, 9 hours and adding the fraction and the clime-inclination of 259, I found the total to be 373°20', from which I subtracted one circle of 360; there remain 13°20'. With these I entered the clime-inclination and found at degree 29 of Aries 16°24' of the clime set beside it [corrected: Kroll prints 16°25']; this degree, then, is productive. And I added to the 29 another 8, which I had subtracted from the solar degree, and degree 7 of Taurus comes to be in the Ascendant. With these I entered the instrument set out above at degree 7 of Taurus and found 20 set beside it; and 20 is a third of sixty. I take a third of the magnitude thus: since beside degree 29 of Aries, where the clime-inclination ended, the magnitude 16°24' is set, I multiply this by 12, and it comes to 196°48'; of this I take a third; it comes to 65½ years; he died in his 65½th year. For what reason I made the subtraction of the 8 degrees and their addition from the solar degrees, I shall show in the course of the account. And this is a conjunctional nativity, known to me from hearsay, as some do these things wishing to learn whether the science has real existence [text uncertain].

举例来说，设为图拉真六年霍亚克月一日入二日，夜里第八小时；合朔在射手八度三十分。我取从合朔的日与时到出生的日与时的间隔；合七日十四小时，即从合朔到望月的行程，也就是十五日的一半。我把它的一半从射手第八度对上升所用的大小十二度零分中减去，十二的一半是六；这个我当作时辰的分数。于是算出九小时，加上这个分数与倾斜度二百五十九，我发现总数是三百七十三度二十分，从中减去一个圆周三百六十；余十三度二十分。拿着这些，我进入倾斜度，发现在白羊第二十九度旁列着气候带的十六度二十四分〔据算改正：Kroll 本作二十五分〕；所以这一度是得力的。我在二十九上再加八，这八是我从太阳的度数中减去的，于是金牛第七度在上升之中。拿着这些，我进入上面列出的仪表的金牛第七度，发现旁边列着二十；二十是六十的三分之一。我这样取大小的三分之一：既然在倾斜度终止的白羊第二十九度旁列着大小十六度二十四分，我把它乘以十二，得一百九十六度四十八分；我取其三分之一；得六十五年半；他死于第六十五年半。我为什么从太阳的度数减去八度又把它加上，在论述的进程中我会说明。这是一个合朔之命，我是从传闻中得知的，正如有些人想知道这门学问是否真实存在〔原文疑有讹误〕而做这些事。

Another. Year 7 of Vespasian, Epiphi 25 into the 26th, the 6th hour of the night, the clime of the Moon [text uncertain]. The Sun in Cancer 27°43', the Moon in Pisces 12°52'; the full moon on Epiphi 22, the 6th hour of the day, in Capricorn 20. From the full-moon day and hour to the day and hour of birth there are 3 days 12 hours, which are, of the course from full moon to conjunction, that is, of the 15, 5°30' [text uncertain]. This I subtracted from the magnitude set beside degree 20 of Capricorn, which is 12°20', and there remain 5°12'; this will be the fraction of the hour. I calculated, then, 2 hours and added the fraction, with the clime-inclination of 360; they come to 340°55'. These I found in the clime-inclination at about the 29th of Aquarius, and I added the 8, and the Ascendant comes to be Pisces, degree 7 [corrected: Kroll prints Aquarius]. With these I entered the instrument at degree 7 of Pisces and found 26 set beside it, which are 1/3 1/10 of sixty; and the magnitude set beside degree 29 of Aquarius happened to be about 13. This I multiply by 12; it comes to 156; then I take 1/3 and 1/10; they come to 68; he died at the beginning of his 69½th year [sic].

另一例。韦斯巴芗七年埃皮菲月二十五日入二十六日，夜里第六小时，月亮的气候带〔原文疑有讹误〕。太阳在巨蟹二十七度四十三分，月亮在双鱼十二度五十二分；望月在埃皮菲月二十二日白天第六小时，在摩羯二十。从望月的日与时到出生的日与时有三日十二小时，在从望月到合朔的行程即十五之中，是五度三十分〔原文疑有讹误〕。我把它从摩羯第二十度旁所列的大小十二度二十分中减去，余五度十二分；这将是时辰的分数。于是我算出二小时，加上这个分数，连同倾斜度三百六十；合三百四十度五十五分。这些我在倾斜度中约水瓶第二十九度处找到，我再加八，上升点成为双鱼七度〔据算改正：Kroll 本作水瓶〕。拿着这些，我进入仪表的双鱼第七度，发现旁边列着二十六，即六十的三分之一又十分之一；水瓶第二十九度旁所列的大小恰约为十三。我把它乘以十二，得一百五十六；然后我取三分之一与十分之一，得六十八；他死于第六十九年半之初〔原文如此〕。

Another. Year 18 of Hadrian, Phamenoth 2, the 4th hour of the day. The Sun in Pisces 9°46', the Moon in Capricorn 9°40'; the full moon was about to take place. The Moon's light being full, and the 4th hour being calculated as full together with the clime-inclination, gave the Ascendant in Taurus, degree 29. According to the instrument, beside degree 29 of Taurus is set 10, which is 1/6 of sixty; and the magnitude of degree 29 of Taurus was 17°27'. This times 12 comes to about 210; of this I take 1/6; it comes to 35; he died in his 31½th year [sic]. For the later degrees have a shortfall of the periods because of the minutes of the Sun, the degree being reckoned with regard to the amounts falling to each, a year 1/4 1/16 1/17 [text uncertain].

另一例。哈德良十八年法梅诺特月二日，白天第四小时。太阳在双鱼九度四十六分，月亮在摩羯九度四十分；望月即将发生。月亮的光是满的，第四小时也作为满的来算，连同倾斜度，得出上升在金牛第二十九度。按仪表，金牛第二十九度旁列着十，即六十的六分之一；金牛第二十九度的大小是十七度二十七分。这个乘以十二约得二百一十；我取其六分之一，得三十五；他死于第三十一年半〔原文如此〕。因为较后的度数，由于太阳的分钟，在时期上有短缺，度数是按落在各个上面的量来算的，一年四分之一又十六分之一又十七分之一〔原文疑有讹误〕。

Another. Year 15 of Antoninus Pius, Hathyr 25 into the 26th, the 9th hour of the night ending, clime 6. The Sun in Sagittarius 2°52', the Moon in Sagittarius 6°48'; the conjunction had taken place. The interval is not great; the 9th hour, calculated as full, did not agree, but the 8th gave the Ascendant in Leo 12; with the addition of the 8 degrees, beside these is set in the instrument 4, which is 1/15 of sixty. The magnitude set beside degree 3 of Libra is 15; this times 12 comes to 180, of which 1/15 comes to 12; so many years he lived.

另一例。安敦宁·庇护十五年哈蒂尔月二十五日入二十六日，夜里第九小时将尽，第六气候带。太阳在射手二度五十二分，月亮在射手六度四十八分；合朔已经发生。间隔不大；第九小时作为满的来算并不相合，但第八小时给出上升在狮子十二；加上八度，仪表中这些旁边列着四，即六十的十五分之一。天秤第三度旁所列的大小是十五；这个乘以十二得一百八十，其十五分之一得十二；他活了这么多年。

VIII. On the Hostile Places and Planets. On the Climacteric Places for the 1st Instrument.

第八章　论敌对之位与行星。为第一仪表论关口之位。

One must examine the hostile places and the planets, not only in the case of the others, but also of the Ascendant, the Sun, and the Moon; for these too, coming into opposition in their transits, signify the climacterics and the deaths. For example, in the case of Saturn, one must consider the degrees opposite his degrees, to see of which god they are the terms, as is set out in the instrument; and when Saturn is there, the native will die, or in their squares or in the signs of equal rising, according as the period also coincides in the squares of the Ascendant or in the signs of equal rising. The same holds for the other planets as well; for the lords of the terms of the opposite degrees are hostile. These, then, arriving at the places, signify destructions, or at the signs of equal rising with the Ascendant.

必须查看敌对之位与行星，不只是对其他各星，也对上升点、太阳与月亮；因为这些在行运中来到对冲时，也表示关口与死亡。例如，就土星而言，必须考虑与他的度数相对的度数，看它们是哪一位神的界，如仪表中所列；当土星在那里时，本命者就会死，或在它们的四分，或在上升相等的星座，视时期也在上升点的四分或上升相等的星座相合而定。其他行星也是一样；因为相对度数的界主是敌对的。所以这些星来到那些位置时，表示毁灭，或来到与上升点上升相等的星座时也是如此。

For example, let Saturn be in Cancer, degree 21, in the terms of Venus; opposite is Capricorn, the terms of Mars; Mars was in Taurus, degree 27; when Saturn is there, the native will die. He died with Saturn in Virgo; for the square of this by degree is Scorpio, degrees 14, in the terms of Saturn; and degree 14 of Taurus is the terms of Saturn. This planet does not become hostile to himself; the sign of equal rising with Scorpio, then, is Leo, and degree 14 of Leo is the terms of the Sun. Jupiter, then, coming to the places of the Sun [text uncertain], to the sign of equal rising, destroyed him there.

例如，设土星在巨蟹二十一度，在金星之界；对面是摩羯，火星之界；火星在金牛二十七度；当土星在那里时，本命者就会死。他在土星在处女时死去；因为按度数，它的四分是天蝎十四度，土星之界；而金牛十四度是土星之界。这颗行星不会与自己为敌；所以与天蝎上升相等的星座是狮子，狮子十四度是太阳之界。于是木星来到太阳之位〔原文疑有讹误〕，来到上升相等的星座，在那里把他毁了。

Mars in Taurus, degree 27, in the terms of the Sun; the same degrees in Scorpio are the terms of the Moon. No planet becomes hostile to him; I seek, then, the degrees 27 of Leo in the sign of equal rising, which is Gemini, the terms of Venus. The native will die, then, when Mars is in Scorpio or in Pisces, the signs of equal rising, or in their squares. If one reckons the 27 of Leo, he will find the terms of Saturn; and Saturn was in Cancer; the native will die, then, when Mars is in Cancer or in Sagittarius or in their squares.

火星在金牛二十七度，在太阳之界；天蝎中同样的度数是月亮之界。没有行星与他为敌；所以我在上升相等的星座中找狮子的二十七度，那是双子，金星之界。所以当火星在天蝎或双鱼即上升相等的星座，或在它们的四分时，本命者会死。若有人计算狮子的二十七，会发现土星之界；而土星在巨蟹；所以当火星在巨蟹或射手或它们的四分时，本命者会死。

Venus in Scorpio, degrees 27, in the terms of the Sun; the opposite degrees, Taurus 27, are the terms of the Sun. He does not become hostile to himself. I seek, then, the 27 in the sign of equal rising with Scorpio, and they are the terms of Mercury; the native will die, then, when Venus is in Virgo, where Mercury is, or in its squares; the same must be done for Mercury too. One must also examine the decumbitures in relation to the opposing planet that is in the hostile places, and the planets that make the monthly, daily, and hourly climacterics in relation to the Moon's thirty, from which the opposing planet is found.

金星在天蝎二十七度，在太阳之界；相对的度数金牛二十七，是太阳之界。他不会与自己为敌。所以我在与天蝎上升相等的星座中找二十七，它们是水星之界；所以当金星在水星所在的处女，或在它的四分时，本命者会死；对水星也必须这样做。也必须就处在敌对之位的那颗相对行星来查看卧病，以及按月亮的三十日而造成每月、每日、每时关口的行星，相对的那颗行星就是从这里求得的。

First one must speak about the construction of the instrument, so that if anyone wishes to compute it by hand he may easily find its structure. About the structure of the instrument you will find it in order thus. Multiply 1/60 of the magnitude of the day by 30, and the result will be the period of life, and no planet will either add or subtract. What I mean is this. Someone posits certain stelae found in the holy sanctuaries, whose increment is by the addition of two. Each of the stelae, 1/60 of the magnitude of the day being multiplied, makes the period of life. For example, the beginning is from Thoth; the first degree has 2 or 2 1/4 set beside it; up to 6 the two is increased, and they come to 6, which have the number 12 set beside them. Then it looses the bond; for every 6 the loosings of the bond take place. It adds, then, the number 14 to the six set out, which are the lights of the Moon. There come to be, then, for 7, 26; for 8, 28; for 9, 30; and since the 30 have been filled, it begins again from the two. And again there are found set beside 11, 4; beside 12, 6; and again the six of the two has been filled. A loosing of the bond takes place, and again the 14 are added to the 6, and they come to 20 at the 13th row. So they do it, then, for each six, the bond being loosed and the 14 being added to the number set out [corrected: Kroll prints 10]. If, in the middle of any six whatever, as has been shown for the second, the thirtieth number is completed, we shall no longer add the 14, but the beginning is again from the two. So, then, the structure, taking its start from the beginning, has set an end to the instrument up to one thirty. For knowing the first number of each sign the method is this, which is set out next [lacuna]

首先必须谈仪表的构造，以便若有人想用手推算，就能容易地找到它的结构。关于仪表的结构，你会按次序这样找到。把白昼大小的六十分之一乘以三十，所得就是生命的时期，没有任何行星会加或减。我所说的是这样。有人假设在神圣的内殿中找到了某些石碑，它们的递增是加二。每一块石碑，把白昼大小的六十分之一乘上去，就得出生命的时期。例如，开头从托特月起；第一度旁列着二，或二又四分之一；直到六，二不断递增，得到六，旁边列着数十二。然后它解开结；因为每六个就发生一次结的解除。于是它在列出的六上加上数十四，这就是月亮的光。于是七得二十六；八得二十八；九得三十；既然三十已满，就又从二开始。又发现十一旁列着四；十二旁列着六；二的六又满了。发生一次结的解除，又在六上加十四，于是在第十三行得二十。所以他们对每个六都这样做，解开结，把十四加到列出的数上〔据算改正：Kroll 本作十〕。若在任何一个六的中间，如对第二个六所示，第三十个数已经满了，我们就不再加十四，而是又从二开始。所以，这一结构从开头起，为仪表定下了终点，直到一个三十。为了知道每个星座的第一个数，方法是这样，接下来列出〔此处原文有缺〕
